TANGEDCO planned power shutdowns: safety checklist
Switch lifts to manual before 9 am and post a notice in your building. Avoid running motors or pumps on low voltage. Charge medical devices and keep oxygen concentrators on backup power. Save work, charge phones and hotspots, and schedule calls around the window. Restoration often starts early when crews finish checks ahead of time.
We will refresh this guide around noon if the area list expands or timings shift. Until then, keep your service number ready for faster complaint routing. If the power returns early, treat voltage as unstable for a few minutes. Bring appliances back gradually, starting with essentials, and monitor the tracker for confirmed switch-on updates.
